We have actually had lots of discussion regarding a car seat for our Wish Kid. We finally decided he needed a new one any way, so we got one that is FAA approved for use in flight. We will just have it all the way through our trip, and not need to worry about checking it or renting one. MAW...

Last week we got some really cool news for Braden. He was chosen by Riley Hospital (his "home" hospital here in Indy), as a Coin Toss Kid for an upcoming Indianapolis Colts vs. Green Bay Packers game at Lucas Oil Stadium! They are providing tickets for our family for the game, a limo to and...

We are freaking out!!!:rotfl2: A few weeks ago it seemed so far away, now it seems like there is no time left!!!

Hi Everyone! We haven't posted many updates, as there hasn't been anything to post about, other than counting down the days, and nobody in the family has patience! That is starting to change, as we are now just over three weeks out from Braden's Wish Trip! Last week he received a "Wish Sneak...

Well, the countdown chain is getting shorter each day, and we now have more news! We received a call yesterday from Braden's Wish Grantor's, and they have his packet ready to go! We will be having his wish party a week from tomorrow at a Coldstone Creamery! He is so excited for the party...

I keep learning so much every time I visit this thread... and it all has us that much more excited for our son's trip to Disney and GKTW in October! A few days ago we were given a special delivery from some family friends, who are also a wish family that spent time at GKTW! I have updated...

Braden received a special gift from friends of our family, who happen to be another wish family that stayed at GKTW! They made it special for him to be able to count down the days until his trip... just 42 links left to remove! Here's Braden with his wish chain! A closeup of the...

We are keeping everyone in Isaac's path in our thoughts... stay safe!!! We received some fantastic news last week about Braden's wish trip! We received our dates, and they were the number one dates we were hoping for! I just updates our PTR. Now it seems like we have so much to do before...

It has been an exciting last week and a half for us! We have our official dates! We will be leaving on Sunday October 14th, and returning Wednesday October 24th! We decided to extend our trip by a few days so we could fully enjoy GKTW, and have a little more time to enjoy the parks, without...

It seems like lately we keep having tiny bits of magic every day, and today was no different! I've updated our PTR a few minutes ago. Plus, we took a leap today and ordered some pins off of Ebay to give the kids each a starter set to trade with. I'm not sure who is more excited about...

A bit more good news today! It seems things are moving along in Braden's wish process! We were at the hospital today for one of his therapy appointments, and we ran into the doc that referred him. He told us that he just signed more paperwork today from MAW! Another funny thing happened...

Today was the big day that Braden met the wish granter's, and made his official wish! It was so exciting to see him full of so much excitement! I have updated our PTR... and hope to update it soon with approval and dates! This all seems so unreal at times, and I can't imagine how incredible...

Braden's wish granter's came today! Braden was wound up all day with anticipation of their visit, and asked us every 10 minutes if they were here yet! When they arrived, Braden immediately took over introducing us to them, and kept asking when they could chat! They had brought a cookie cake...

Got some great news... our son's "Wisher's" are coming this Sunday evening! We are so excited to meet them. They are a newly married couple, and the wife has been volunteering with MAW for several years, but this will be her husbands first wish-granting experience. She was so nice on the...

Big day today... we got our welcome packet from MAW! We have the names of Braden's wish granters! It looks like a married couple and we hope to hear from them soon! On another note, I just realized how hooked into the Disney mindset our whole family is right now. We are sitting here watching...

I wish I could update this thread every day with news about Braden's wish... patience is definitely not my strong suit! We found out this morning that two Wish Granter's have already chosen to be Braden's Wish Granters! Disney is all Braden has been able to talk about lately, so we are...

Thank you everyone for the kind welcome! We received a call today from our local chapter to get more information about Braden. They told us we should hear from our Wish Granter's within the next 2-6 weeks. Hopefully sooner rather than later, as we would like to aim for a mid-October trip, so...

I have already learned a great deal just reading through this most recent thread. We haven't discussed his specific wish too much yet, as it really has just been all about going to Disney. He loves race cars, and there are several of the characters that he is pretty attached to, so I am sure...

Hi everyone! My name is Kevin, and I am brand new to posting here. I have been lurking around for a few months, reading lots of posts and soaking up a ton of information, and I thought it was time to introduce myself and my family! I have an amazing wife of 16 years, Becky, who is the mother...
